"It went smooth and thorough and he gave us the information we needed to know. I was wanting to schedule something soon and they were able to come out two days after I inquired their services! Cant beat that. We also got a phone call explaining everything that was found for the air quality test and where to go from there. All their help was very much appreciated."

"Asbestos Abatement came to my home and contained asbestos that we had in our boiler room. From the start I requested a proposal with Kim and she was very professional and helpful. The Owner Richard came out to do the proposal and was very knowledgeable about the abatement process and other Energy saving resources. This was when I knew I was in very good hands. The guys showed up the very next day and went to work on containment. I am very proud to have worked with Asbestos Abatement Associates from start to finish. I highly recommend."

"I think the finishing around the window could've been a little bit nicer. Our basement isn't really finished. It still the brick wall, cement wall.It just seems like it could've been finished off more than it was. They were quick. I didn't see a lot of debris or anything. I know sawing through cement can be messy but they seemed to be very clean and efficient. They were out here pretty quick. We checked around and they were very reasonable."

"The mold removal and restoration of my front hall closet was started and completed with no problems. I got everything in writing and the workmen did everything in a timely manner. Everything was cleaned up and you wouldn't even know they were there. I got a great value for the money and I thank them for not trying to take advantage of me. The employees were very professional, friendly, and helpful. THe closet looks beautiful now and be energy efficient now that the mold and moisture problem is gone - I can feel the difference."

"Thanks to a bad pipe in an upstairs bathroom , our house sustained 18 hours worth of water damage on three floors. If you've never had such a problem in your house, consider yourself blessed. I called Loyear the morning of the damage and a team was dispensed out that day. The main concern was to ensure that during the summer the heavy water damage didn't result in mold.
Loyear sent Eric Kolbinger, the consummate professional that a home owner wants to work with in this type of situation. After assessing the damage Eric gave a clear, concise explanation of what would happen including how the process would work with my insurance company. What Eric said, his workers did and within four days the work was done.
Eric then helped me find a contractor, Steve Kolbinger of Kolbinger Construction Services in Becker. It's extremely rare to have realization meet expectation. Steve and his team's work on the restoration was miraculous. The house looks equal to or better than before the disaster. Steve also helped reduce the construction dust and dirt by screening off the rest of the house to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment.
Your house would be in good hands when using these services."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.

Costs depend on the number of samples, testing method, lab fees, and whether on-site inspections are required.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Some causes of brown well water—like excess tannins or dissolved iron—don’t pose a health risk. In other cases, harmful bacteria might be the culprit. If your well water has suddenly turned brown, it’s a good idea to use a home water test kit to get a better sense of what’s going on with your water. Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.
